Accu-Label Invests in 20” Durst Tau RSCi
November 18, 2020Accu-Label, a family owned label manufacturer based in Fort Wayne, IN,
is preparing for further growth with the addition of the Durst Tau RSCi inkjet
label printer. The Tau RSCi is the latest offering from Durst’s range of 1200
dpi RSC printers with print speeds up to 328ft/min. Accu-Label has opted for
the 20” width version to maximize their productivity.
Accu-Label was co-founded 33 years ago by David Manning Jr., who started the
label printing company in his garage. With the full support of his family,
David Manning’s Accu-Label business was born and today operates with
state-of-the-art equipment. From the beginning, Manning set his sights on
providing his customers with high quality labels and superior, personalized
customer service.
“Creating custom labels at Accu-Label is more than just a job for us…it’s a
calling. For over 30 years, we’ve been answering that call by investing into
the foundation of our business”, explains Manning. “Quality and service is the
core of our business. That means giving our customers superior service and the
highest quality product, with family-centered culture to back it up. We’re
proud to service both local and national customers, from Fort Wayne, Indiana.”
To deliver this high level of quality and service, Accu-Label has always
emphasized investing in new equipment and the best technology available to work
smarter and more efficiently. When it comes to technology, they look to focus
on the future, not on the past. “Positioning is everything in the label market
and you have to set yourself apart from others, to stay on the cutting edge of
this industry,” says Catie Manning-Ewald, Creative and Marketing Director for
Accu-Label. This is why Accu-Label chose the Durst Tau RSCi to power their
production offering.
Continuing the success of the 1200dpi Tau RSC, now with over 100 installations
globally, the new RSCi is designed to handle medium to long run jobs from flexo
while also producing high-quality short run jobs in the most economical way.
The RSCi offers a range of benefits including native 1200 dpi heads and the
label industry’s smallest inkjet drop size for the highest inkjet quality
available today. Accu-Label chose to add extended gamut color options, high
opacity white and variable data options to expand what they can offer their
customers. The RSCi is available in 13”, 16.5” and 20” versions and while it is
possible to upgrade to wider widths in the field, Accu-Label chose the 20”
model to maximize their throughput and productivity from the start.
For over three decades, Accu-Label has been an industry leader investing in the
latest digital and flexo printing technologies. They are dedicated to exceeding
the expectations of their customers which has allowed the business continuous
and tremendous growth. “With the addition of the Durst, we are looking to take
our standard of digital printing, to the next level, to help us revolutionize
label printing”, says DJ Manning III, Production Manager. The investment will
enable Accu-Label to quickly respond to complex client demands, optimize their
production processes, provide expansion into new market segments, all while
meeting the high level flexo-like quality output that the company has been
known for throughout its history. The Durst Tau RSCi will give Accu-Label the
ability to provide better service to current customers as well as to cultivate
new relationships as capabilities increase.
